Honoring Two Dads on Father's Day

Question

I'm close to my father and stepfather and would like to honor both on Father's Day. But if I have lunch with one and dinner with the other, won't my lunch companion feel less special? Any ideas on how to manage the day?

Answer

To make the holiday stress-free, think of some fun activities that normally take place at times other than Sunday night. For example, if one of your dads is a big baseball fan, suggest going to an afternoon game. If one is a theater buff, celebrate with a Saturday matinee, leaving Sunday free for your other commitment. If all else fails, settle it with a coin toss.
